Hi everyone, my name is Sausage
Meat Sausage!
Our gorgeous boy has been in the shelter for over 171 days… that’s just the wurst!!
This silly sausage loves to have fun and play with his human friends. He’s looking for a family with a strong hold that can take him on plenty of walks and family outings. He would love to attend obedience training and show you how much he’s willing to learn. He has some dog walking buddies in the shelter but would prefer to go into a house being the only dog.
At the end of the day Sausage would love to snuggle up indoors with his family while they cuddle his sausage rolls.
He has a mild skin allergy which he takes medication for daily (we’re hoping clears up once he’s out of the shelter environment). He doesn’t let this affect his mood though and is always sizzling with a friendly nature!
Ok, enough with the puns & let’s be Frank!
This hot- dog needs a home and is bursting to meet you!

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
